(VB.NET) Kill Process

[Dark Slipstream]

You can kill a process in several ways, by using the process's Name, ID, Handle, MainWindowTitle, and more. The following sample will show you how to kill a process using the processes name and main window title. Error handling is provided to make sure it doesn't throw a False when it tries to kill a SYSTEM process.

 

 

Public Function KillProcess(ByVal procName As String) As Boolean

   For Each p As Process In Process.GetProcesses
       If p.ProcessName.StartsWith(procName) Then
           Try
               p.Kill()
           Catch
           End Try
       ElseIf p.MainWindowTitle.StartsWith(procName) Then
           Try
               p.Kill()
           Catch
           End Try
       End If
   Next
   Return (True)
End Function

'Usage'
KillProcess("explorer")

What about..

 

Process.GetProcessesByName(TextBox1.Text).Length = 0

Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(TextBox1.Text)

 

For Each p As Process In pProcess

p.Kill()

Next
